The Department of Meteorology at Stockholm University (MISU) invites candidates to propose a 2-year project in Climate Research to be conducted at MISU within the Bolin Centre for Climate Research.
At MISU (www.misu.su.se) we conduct research and education in an international environment within four main areas: Atmospheric physics, Chemical and Dynamic meteorology, and Physical oceanography. In all these areas there is a strong focus on the climate and on processes important for the climate and its development. The department employs some 80 individuals, of which about 35 are scientists, 30 PhD students and 15 in the administration and technical support.
The department is part of the Bolin Centre for Climate Research (www.bolin.su.se) that together with three other departments at the university cover research of most of the important aspects of the climate system.
